Story Bridge Needs Your Partnership!

Story Bridge is returning for its fifth year in Northborough-Southborough, and we're inviting community organizations to join us in building connection and belonging across our towns. This February, ten storytellers will share compelling personal narratives at Algonquin Regional High School. Participants work with acclaimed authors through workshops and individual coaching, developing stories that strengthen our community fabric. 

How You Can Get Involved:

• Apply to be a storyteller – We welcome parents, educators, staff, and community members to share their stories on stage. Click here to learn more and apply 

• Become a sponsor – View sponsorship opportunities that help sustain this vital program.

• Spread the word – Share news of the showcase on February 26 at 6 PM at the Algonquin Black Box Theater with your networks and encourage participation.

Together, we can continue creating moments of shared understanding that unite our community. Thank you for considering how your organization can be part of Story Bridge!

• Honoring Former PTO Treasurer Steve Fucile:  At this morning’s community meeting, the PTO was pleased to present Steve with a certificate of appreciation to honor his outstanding dedication as PTO Treasurer over the last two years. He managed the PTO funds with exceptional care, transparency, and countless hours of behind-the-scenes work — always guided by his simple motto, “for the kids.” His reliability and attention to detail ensured every dollar was accurately accounted for, while his leadership, good humor, and positive spirit made every PTO meeting more enjoyable. We’re deeply grateful for the heart, diligence, and enthusiasm he brings to everything he does. The Zeh Community is very lucky to have him.
